Ivanhoe
V Ruislip A
match lost but one Ives should have one or at least got closer to
winning as shown by still having 5 wickets in hand at the end of the
match. Bowling
first both Andy C (8 overs 0 for 16) and Max (8 overs 0 for 12)
restricted the opposition in blustery conditions to only 30 runs in the
first 16 overs. After the
bowling changes the first wicket fell to Richard to well taken one
handed caught and bowled off a skier and the Andy H repeated the effort
with a caught and bowled of his own.
Richard finished with 2 for 32 from 7 overs thanks also to one of
two catches by Adrian and Andy H 1 for 30 from 7 overs.
It was then left to Ciaran (8 overs 0 for 34) and Jonathan in his
first match for the Ives taking 2 for 34 to bring the Ruislip Victoria
innings to a close at 160 for 6. Four
an over was needed and after Bob fell early for 5, Denis (46) and
Adrian(44) made sure Ives were exactly on the rate, passing reaching 100
in the 25th over. At this point Denis and Adrian both quickly
departed and Max and Phil K came together and although the rate went up
to 5 with 8 overs to go the win still looked on with 7 wickets still in
hand. Phil K departed for 11
and rather than looking to keep the score ticking over by taking 1’s
and 2’s attempts to win the game in boundaries foundered on the slow
wicket. With Richard run out without facing the innings closed 14 short
of victory on 147 for 5 (Max
24no, Andy C 3no). |
